I have been voting by mail for a long time, maybe around 20 years. I mailed my ballot for the governor recall election yesterday, and received this message today.

Funny, how it doesn't recognize who you voted for. Just says they got a ballot in your name. Also, since California is pretty much software heaven, they felt a need to outsource to Denver ? I dunno Bud, doesn't instill confidence in my book.HT SYSTEM-

The service is available in some counties across the US (D & R states). The service must be signed up for. It’s not automatic. It is intended to alleviate voter anxiety that a mail-in ballot might not have been properly received. It tracks ONLY the mail-in ballot, not the vote (contents cannot be scanned or read).BallotTrax is a secure software application that locates ballot envelopes. The system works with election officials and the Postal Office to send you messages when your ballot is received as well as notifies you if there is a discrepancy. By logging into the BallotTrax site, voters can see their mail-in ballot status and sign up for alerts.
The sign up process is simple. Just sign on, enter contact info, select message method (email, text and voice messages), and note what time works best for messaging.

Pretty much the voting equivalent of UPS or FedEx tracking for purchases. The tracking tells you where your package is, not what’s in it.Alea jacta est! -
Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't see what the problem/issue is here.

As I said, I mailed the ballot Thursday on the way to the grocery store around 11 AM. Friday morning at 8 AM I received this email.
Friday afternoon I received the above email. If the Post Office is slow where you live then that is your problem.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

The US mail is slow everywhere. -
So, just out of curiosity.....if you don't see a problem with this. Why did you make this post? What was your point?
Personally, I'm calling Shenanigan's and if you are interested in the Brooklyn Bridge, it's for sale again. Just give me a jingle and I'll have my people contact your people...

@invalid - Don’t you know how to quote a post?

Because it's a government agency -
The ballot never left the county. Anyone who tracks mail or packages would know that those rarely, if ever, spend more than 24 hours in the same county.
- Mailed Thursday morning, 11 a.m.
- Message received Friday morning that it had been received, and was on its way. 8 a.m.
- Message received Friday evening that it had been delivered. 7 p.m.
There’s nothing remotely nefarious in that timeline when it’s within the same county, and all that’s involved is scanning of the digital code on the outside of the ballot.Alea jacta est! -

…but any package or tracked mail I’ve ever followed never spends more than 24 hours in the same county, whether it’s UPS, FedEx, USPS or OnTrac, and we have both the biggest, and the most populous counties anywhere in the 🇺🇸.Alea jacta est! -
Wouldn’t Bud’s ballot have been collected by the PO and delivered to a central location within the same county?

Is that why there have been so many people complaining about slow shipping and delayed mail. You are telling me that the delivery companies and the US mail are the only businesses without delays at this time. -
Within the same county, once an item has been handed over to the carrier, delays are extraordinarily rare where I live. I get same day, next day, and two day deliveries on a regular basis. It could be different in other parts of the country. 🤷♂️Post edited by Kex onAlea jacta est!

I'm not saying it isn't possible, just doesn't happen around here in the last year or so.

My mom just had a similar situation. She mailed two payments on a Thursday, both going to local banks. On one, she got notification the next day that her payment had been received. On the other, it was over a week before the payment was received.
Bottom line: you just never know with mail.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -
In the case of banks, the delay is intentional on the part of the bank, not the mail. Bill pay, for example usually requires 2 business days before they even mail a check. Some take even longer than that. During that time, they have your money.Alea jacta est!
